Comment: TJ Monterde is notable per WP:MUSICBIO, but this draft provides only basic information about him, such as his name, birthday, birthplace, and albums. In addition, the draft focuses only on his song "Palagi", which was bombed by several reliable sources to prove that the subject is notable. A proper expansion may help this draft get approved in the next submission. AstrooKai (Talk) 16:57, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Fails WP:MUSICBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 06:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
